The bad news is that you’ll need to find it first.

The good news is that the Minion can still be used to generate income for your business. ..

This means you’ll need to use the Trust system or have a Light Party to grind Ktisis Hyperboreia. Trusts are always preferable because NPCs can’t roll on Loot. So in the case your Caduceus Minion drops, you’ll win it by default.

After the revelations regarding Meteion, Hermes takes refuge in the Ktisis Hyperboreia observational facility. You’re tasked with pursuing them in order to put a halt to his nefarious pursuit of the meaning of life.

Your Party gathers up and ventures forth to hopefully save Meteion and prevent the Song of Oblivion. And get that sweet Caduceus Minion.

The Many Seasons of Ktisis Hyperboreia

First encountered at Level 87, you can traverse Ktisis Hyperboreia with Venat, Hythlodaeus and Emet-Selch. Which is well worth it just for the lore experience.

The Facility is littered with little booklets that offer insight on its function. ..

Trusts can be a great way to take your time and explore different options.

After the initial clear, it may be easier to just grab a few friends and grind it out. And impress them with your uncanny knowledge of Boss mechanics.

  1. The Observational Facility is a powerful and dangerous adversary that can quickly take down any player if they are not careful.
  2. The Observatory can be difficult to defeat, but there are some strategies that can be used to minimize its damage.
  3. Be prepared for the Observatory to use its powerful beams and lasers to damage you, and make sure you have strong shields and armor to protect yourself from the damage.

Lyssa

Skull Dasher – Tankbuster. Mitigate and heal as necessary. Frigid Stomp – Unavoidable room-wide AOE. Mitigate and heal as necessary. Frostbite and Seek – Lyssa returns to the center of the arena, covers it in mist, and becomes unforgettable. Several sets of footprints appear leading to one of six craters in the arena. Follow them to which crater they end at and get behind it to avoid damage. Icicall – Three icicles drop into the arena and after a short while fire a line AOE. This has two patterns, either across the edges of the arena or through the center. Heavy Smash – One of you will get a stack marker, requiring everyone to get together to share damage. This usually occurs along with Icicall, but resolves after the line AOEs. Avoid those then stack together.

Ladon Lord

The fight against Ladon Lord is a difficult one. The boss has a variety of attacks that can easily take down a party of players. However, with careful planning and execution, players can survive and defeat Ladon Lord. The first thing players need to do is to avoid the boss’s attacks. Mitigate damage as necessary with healing spells or items. Pyric Blast and Pyric Breath are two of the boss’s most dangerous attacks, so be sure to stay away from them if possible. Ladon Lord also has an AOE attack called Pyric Spheres. These spheres will randomly appear around the room and fire a cross-shaped AOE after a brief duration. Stand in the middle of the sphere’s area to avoid damage. As the fight goes on, Ladon Lord will use both Pyric Blast and Pyric Breath more frequently. Position yourself accordingly so that you’re always aware of his next attack and ready to mitigate it or heal yourself up ..

Winged Defiance: Hermes

Hermes – AOE healer with several powerful abilities. -True Tornado: A powerful tankbuster that can be mitigated and healed as necessary. -True Aero: All players will be targeted with a tracking line AOE. Spread out to avoid overlapping damage. -True Aero II: All players will be marked with point-blank AOEs. Spread out to avoid overlapping damage. -Meteor: Four proximity AOEs will occur around the arena. Stand mid to avoid heavy damage. These will be used to avoid the next mechanic. -Hermetica: Summons large green panels along the edges of the arena in sets of two. These will face a cardinal direction and then fire a line AOE. This causes knockback, and will shoot you into the arena wall and likely kill you. There are four patterns, each with its own dangers and rewards. ..

Hermes has a mechanic that allows him to repeat himself until you’ve bested him.

Unfortunately, Meteion turns out to be a real pain in the neck.

Opening the coffer will hopefully bring relief from the sadness you feel. ..

Good luck with your snake hunt!
